| THIS IS A FINE FAMILY MOVIE. IT'S NICE TO SEE THAT A MOVIE DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE SEX AND VIOLENCE TO BE ENTERTAINING. EVA AND CICELY WERE VERY GOOD AND THE CHILDREN WERE EXCEPTIONAL. TAKE YOUR FAMILY AND SEE IT TOGETHER. |

| This movie was not that awful, though I would never choose to see it again. The story is about how individuals in a small town deal with loneliness. I will agree with what other reviewers have said about the dog. A lot of really heart-warming and good moments happen in this movie, but I was turned off by the way that they claimed that it was because of the influence of the girl's "friendly" dog, when really it was about a girl being a good neighbor. Hollywood also decided to throw in a lot of their inane "slapstick" moments which you've seen in every other movie with a dog in it, such as the dog's head-butting of the preacher's crotch. |
| Rating | | | Date | August 21, 2005 | | Summary | Poster Dog for *The Book Was Better* Syndrome | Content
| This movie is based on a Newbery book about 10-year-old India Opal Buloni, new to the town of Naomi, Florida, who adopts a big, ugly, galoot of a stray dog she encounters one day when he has somehow managed to enter her local grocery store to forage for food and wreak havoc in the produce aisle. Guess which store? (That's how he got his name-o)
The actors - including Winn Dixie - in the movie are good and well-cast, but it would have taken a movie much longer than the average child can/will sit in the average theatre seat without popcorn and potty breaks to tell the total tail of Winn Dixie and friends. Better to buy Cherry Jones' excellent unabridged audio performance of Kate DiCamillo's fine tale and hear all about it before experiencing Hollywood's hacking hatchet job to all these quaint characters: Opal and her daddy, "the Preacher" at the Open Arms Baptist Church; Otis the jailbird pet store man; Gertrude the parrot; the not-so-menacing Dewberry brothers; Gloria Dump; Miss Fanny Block; "pinched-faced" Amanda Wilkinson; and Sweetie-Pie Thomas.

| Why oh why is this DVD $20 ? It's the same at WalMart, Target, etc. This is a single disc release with Full and Widescreen versions crammed together. This should really be in the $14.99 or less range. Why is Fox pricing this so high everywhere when other studios release new family DVD's around $15? You can buy brand-new 2-disc special editions with lots more hi-quality content for the same money. |
